With his family's financial crisis and his manipulative cousin Alex trying to lure him back into his old job as enforcer, Trigger has his hands full. To complicate matters, Rachel Fox, an old flame, is back.

To Alex's delight, Trigger promises to hunt down the blackmailer turned killer. But he can't guess how violent his quest will become. Trigger Cullen is about to be catapulted into a web of blackmail, murder and deceit.
